Influence of heat treatment and cutting speed on chip segmentation of age hardenable aluminium alloy

Abstract

A change in chip shape has been observed as a function of age hardening and cutting speed during high speed milling of the aluminium alloy 7075. In order to study this effect systematically, the aluminium alloy was heat treated to produce different precipitation states and machined under carefully controlled conditions at cutting speeds between 1000 and 7000 m min^-1. The underaged state shows local shearing producing segmented chips. The degree of segmentation increases with cutting speed. In contrast, the overaged state shows continuous chips up to the highest cutting speeds. The chips obtained with the peak aged state show a fluctuation between segmented and continuous parts. These results can be understood in terms of the differing work softening/hardening behaviour of the under- and overaged states owing to the specific interactions between dislocations and precipitates during chip formation.     

Effects of rheocasting and heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of A356 alloy

The effects of the rheocasting process and T5 heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of A356 alloy were investigated. The results show that the temperature range for the solid-liquid state is roughly between 560 °C and 630 °C, and the solid fraction increases from 0% to 100% with decreasing temperature. The finer microstructure in rheocasting in comparison with the one in conventional casting was attributed to pressure breaking down the secondary dendrite arms, especially for specimens around 600-610 °C. It was proved that rheocasting specimens have improved mechanical properties over the conventional casting ones. Furthermore, the result shows that T5 heat treatment can strengthen A356 alloy, while the plasticity was reduced at the same time.

Effect of heat treatment on small scale fragmentation of aluminium alloy

Abstract

Small scale explosions, using a detonator, of 7075 aluminium alloy cylinders, 15–100 mm outside diameter, were carried out to investigate the effects of heat treatment on fragmentation. This was the finest for the strongest as received alloy and coarsest for the softest overaged alloy. This effect was similar to that seen in investigations of the fragmentation of steel. Cylinders of 50 and 100 mm in diameter did not fragment but plastically deformed with maximum deformation at the cylinder bottom. Fragmentation of 33 and 42 mm diameter cylinders produced long fragments typical of the break-up of thick walled cylinders. At smaller diameters, break-up gave fragments of several shapes, finer fragments being largely associated with the smallest diameter cylinders and the highest strength alloys. Results followed those seen in large scale studies of cylinder break-up and suggest the possibility of using small scale fragmentation experiments in the investigation of the effects of composition, heat treatment and processing on natural fragmentation.

在不同温度下对压铸AM60B母材进行焊前热处理,待冷至室温后对其实施不填丝GTAW重熔焊接。焊后用扫描电镜对焊缝截面的气孔分布及形貌进行观察,并用粒径分析软件Nano measurer 1.2测量焊缝中气孔尺寸,用基于Matlab二次开发的图像分析程序识别和计算焊缝气孔率。结果表明:焊缝气孔主要分布在焊缝熔融区及熔合线附近;与未经焊前热处理母材对应的焊缝相比,经焊前热处理后所得焊缝中的气孔率及气孔尺寸均降低;随着焊前热处理温度升高,焊后气孔率及气孔尺寸均逐渐增加。     

T6热处理对复式连通双连续相SiC/Al复合材料性能的影响

研究了T6热处理(固溶处理 时效)对复式连通双连续相SiC/A1复合材料的组织和压缩性能的影响.结果表明,经T6热处理后,复合材料基体中第二相共晶硅从粗大的针状变成了细小的粒状,增强了弥散强化效果,时效析出相Mg2Si强化了基体;界面附近的基体中残余应力增大,使复合材料的压缩强度显著提高,材料的弹性模量和塑性稍稍降低.随着固溶时间的延长,复合材料的压缩强度先升高后降低.其影响机制是,随着固溶时间的延长共晶硅扩散充分,球化完全,继而粗化长大,从而提高了弥散强化效果.随着时效时间的延长,材料中的残余应力减小,位错密度降低,时效强化相Mg2Si的强化能力减弱,使复合材料的压缩强度降低.

A New Method for Production of Nondendritic Semisolid ZA27 Alloy

In this article, a new method for the production of nondendritic semisolid ZA27 alloy available for thixoforming was developed. The results indicated that a semisolid microstructure with small and spherical primary particles could be obtained when the alloy had been treated for 3 h at 370°C and then partially remelted at semisolid temperature of 460°C. This method could not only overcome some inevitable shortcomings resulting from using some present popular approaches but also simplify the procedure of thixoforming. The coarsening of dendritic arms through merging during solid solution treatment and then separating from the dendrites during partial remelting were the main methods by which such a microstructure was formed.
